Lee Atwood

"After describing his upbringing, education, and work at Wright Field beginning in 1928, Atwood (b. October 26, 1904) reviews his work for Douglas Aircraft in the early 1930s and his acceptance of the position of chief engineer at North American shortly thereafter.
He then discusses North American's wartime efforts; its early post-war work on airplanes, rockets, and missiles; projects beginning in the 1950s for the USAF and NASA, including Saturn, Minuteman, and Apollo; post-war changes in organizational structure; contracting procedures and problems with various federal agencies; the responsibilities and ramifications from the Apollo 204 fire; his promotions at North American; and relations over the years with Arthur Raymond, Dutch Kindleberger, James Webb, Stan Smithson, Fred Black, and others."     More?
